Hey Rafa,

I really really really miss you!!! I have hardly watched tennis at the US Open. I have no idea who is in or out! For me, its just really not the same. I was planning to attend the US Open while in NYork but my friends and I hardly remembered the Open!! I can tell you, you are sorely missed!!

However, all we want is for you to get better. I am happy you are taking your recuperation in stride, its also very good for you mentally. When you return to the tour me and all your fans will be celebrating as there is certainly a huge gaping hole in my summer with you not there!!

Anyway, to the other tennis fans, I wish your faves all the best. I would really like for Murray to win his first slam. So im really routing for him!!! While in DC I will try to take some time of my shopping spree to watch some tennis so im hoping things get a lot more exciting in the final week.

Good luck Andy!!!

Toni Nadal: "I'm happy because surgery was ruled"
The uncle and coach of Rafael Nadal, Toni Nadal, said that the decision to extend by two months the time off the world number three is "thoughtful" and "at the end will be for good."

Nadal, absent from the tracks he played Wimbledon, said Monday it will take two months to heal recovery definitely the ailment in the knees. "At the end is a though
tful decision because when you have an injury of this type to do a final settlement not to drag the problem. We have taken a month and at the end I think it will be for good," said Toni Nadal.

The uncle and coach of Rafael Nadal, who was ruled out for the tie of the Davis Cup semifinals, will face U.S. to Spain in Gijon, stressed the importance of avoiding surgery. "For any athlete injuries are the worst. And when you missed the Olympics and the U.S. Open and after talking to the doctor Angel Ruiz Cotorro and Mikel Sanchez in Vitoria, the truth is that I'm happy because we discarded surgery, "said Toni Nadal, who stressed that" the evolution of Rafael is correct. "

Toni Nadal said that Rafa "has had tendon problems in the bottom of the kneecap. First on the top, the patellar tendon was fixed and is now on the bottom, and this has produced an inflammation the fat that surrounds the tendon that is what is causing not regenerate with the speed of the other times. " Balearic tennis coach said that the important thing is that when you do compete hundred percent. "In the end it is that you worry more than necessary this situation. We worry that comes to compete at 100%. He has tried to break this long a full recovery and it seems that we are on track," he said.

Rafael Nadal, however, but remains outside the professional circuit, played golf last weekend in Ireland, where he competed in amateur Balearic Absolute Championship. "If I could, I think Rafa would opt more for football than golf. Had a chance to be a good player, always playing inside," he said Toni Nadal.

Uncle Toni is a gem, always finds the right balance.....

Golf over Tennis

^^^^

Really? Like Rafa had a choice! If he could play tennis, then he would be playing! Golf is NOT tennis!

Good grief! Some people just have to post the most absurd comments that make no sense.
